World war crimes court set for bumper appeals rulings

In an unusual move, international war crimes judges will rule Thursday on three appeals cases, including one brought by Congolese warlord Germain Katanga, ordered to pay his victims &dollar;1 million in damages. Legal proceedings at the International Criminal Court (ICC) are usually lengthy, slow and unwieldy, so it is unheard of to have three judgements handed down in one day. The court, based in The Hague, opened its doors in 2002 to try the world's worst crimes in places where governments cannot or will not act.

"We need the help of proven leaders such as Katrina and John to promote the President's growing portfolio of achievements across the country."
